Gillingham have decided against making a trip to the French resort of Le Touquet.
A week in France was expected, along with a game against recently promoted Amiens, but neither will now happen, a decision made by boss Ady Pennock.
The Gills will still be heading to Northern Ireland, however, as they look to get in shape for the new season.
Gillingham will be facing a week of hard graft when they travel to the town of Newcastle, with three sessions a day planned for the players.
A game against Faversham Town will kick off their summer pre-season schedule, taking place on Friday, July 7.
